Caught on Camera: “Stoning” Attack on Israeli Car

In an exclusive interview with HonestReporting, photojournalist Ruben Salvadori was asked what a photographer is supposed to do when it’s clear that his presence is influencing the actions of the people he’s covering?

First of all a photographer needs to realize this. You’re taking for granted, as I also did, that all photographers believe that their presence has an influence to some extent over the events, but it is a wrong assumption. I was shocked by hearing how many photographers were completely sure that seeing us arriving on the spot in a pack, carrying helmets, gas masks and an average of two big cameras each, had no effect whatsoever on the parties in conflicts.

I think this is the most important (first) step to be achieved, which is the understanding that we have an impact on what we witness, for the simple reason that we are there (let go with all our equipment, I’m talking about being there as any person, not necessarily in the photographer’s shoes).

While it is difficult to prove that the photographers at the scene actively colluded with the Palestinian attackers, there is no doubt that their very presence encouraged an escalation in the incident.

What would have happened had Zehava Weiss been injured and her car immobilized to be left to the mercy of a Palestinian mob? Or if worse had happened and she had been killed by the boulder lobbed at her vehicle? Would those same photographers have had the moral courage to intervene? Or would they have continued snapping photographs with complete abandon?

While we can only speculate, we probably know the answer.

Oh ok, I guess I need to get my facts right, so, Rachel Corrie was an accident, children drawing on missiles was art, Sabra and Shatila were carried out solely by Lebanese militias and the camps were not surrounded by the IDF to make sure no one escapes the massacre… Alright, how about the Gaza flotilla raid in 2010, and what does it say about the Israeli respect for human rights? How come the survivors of the holocausts, only few years after, commit such heinous crimes (or should I call them ethnic cleansings) as the ones they did in “Dair Yaseen” and other Palestinian villages in 1948?
I don’t like it when I see kids playing with Nerf guns and water guns because I feel they could lead to violence… so, what kind of parents sends their kids in a field trip where they can write letters on bombshells before sending them off to kill somebody?
So much for our only democratic ally and the keeper of peace in the Middle East, eh?

No you need to be fair with your words- Corrie was a member of an organisation that wanted to se the END of Israel- she was an activist and put her life on the line by putting herself in harms way.

Read the Palmer report on the flotilla- Israel was within her rights to board- 5 other ships allowed the IDF to board and search not one person was injured- how come the lead vessel refused and as film shows they attacked the boarders with weapons-
Dar Jasine.

The video focuses on an interview with Hazem Nusseibeh, a member of one of Jerusalem’s most prominent Arab families. In 1948 he was an editor of the Palestine Broadcasting Service’s Arabic news.

In this interview with the BBC he admits that in 1948 he was instructed by Hussein Khalidi, a prominent Palestinian Arab leader, to fabricate claims of atrocities at Deir Yassin in order to encourage Arab regimes to invade the expected Jewish state. He made this damming admission in explaining why the Arabs failed in the 1948 war. He said “this was our biggest mistake”, because Palestinians fled in terror and left the country in huge numbers after hearing the atrocity claims.

Nusseibeh describes an encounter at the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City with Deir Yassin survivors and Palestinian leaders, including Hussein Khalidi… ‘I asked Dr. Khalidi how we should cover the story,’. He said, “We must make the most of this. So we wrote a press release stating that at Deir Yassin children were murdered, pregnant women were raped, all sorts of atrocities”

In the video clip Abu Mahmud, who was a Dir Yassin resident in 1948, told the BBC that the villagers protested against the atrocity claims: We said, “There was no rape. But Khalidi said, We have to say this, so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews.”

This false press statement was released to New York Times correspondent, Dana Schmidt leading to an article in the New York Times on April 12, 1948, claiming that a massacre took place at Deir Yassin that was reprinted worldwide and cited even in Israel as proof of Israeli atrocities

Dr. Hazem Nusseibeh was a representative of Jordan at the Mixed Armistice Commission and he was Minister of Foreign Affairs.He was also the Permanent Ambassador of Jordan to the UN and has authored several books, including The Ideas of Arab Nationalism, Palestine and the United Nations and A History of Modern Jordan.

See the BBC film (BBC not Israeli friendly) and make up your own mind.

As for H.Rights- And again I quote others-
Israel continues to help Palestinians despite politics
Despite political tensions that at times threaten to boil over, cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians in the field of medicine continues to advance. Nearly 115,000 Palestinian patients were treated at Israeli hospitals in 2011, and over 100 Palestinian doctors interned at Israeli hospitals. “Every year more patients are sent to Israeli hospitals,” said Civil Administration Health Coordinator, Mrs. Dalia Bassa.

“We hope to train Palestinian doctors and improve Palestinian medicine, strengthening cooperation. Health is a separate issue, Israeli and Palestinian doctors are friends, making medicine a bridge for peace.”

In related news, the IDF reported on Friday that during the month of December, 4,373 trucks carrying 139,678 tons of goods including food, medicine, construction material, clothing and other goods entered the Gaza Strip from Israel through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

And thats one country helping others who are openly at war with it-
Now you find something else to complain about.!

The domain name “Honest Reporting” is very attractive to people who don’t have the time to search for the truth (i.e. most of us), yet, they want to learn something about what’s happening in the rest of the world so they don’t look totally ignorant should the subject be brought.
I agree with Mathew, this looks staged, but let’s assume for the sake of “Honest Reporting” it’s not. Therefore, I ask whoever reads this, before you dislike my post (if it went through anyway), do your homework and search for counter stories. Just like in court, any trial, to be just, should have defence and prosecution. Find the Rachel Corrie story or read articles by Dr. Norman Finkelstein; search for photos of Israeli children signing missiles (and learning to hate) before bombing Beirut and south Lebanon, or read about what the IDF and IAF did in Gaza between 2008 and 2009… Maybe you can go a bit earlier in history, and look up the 1982 massacre of Sabra and Shatila… Perhaps these stories and many others will help you understand why these brats are busy throwing stones at Israeli cars instead of playing soccer or video games.
But again, you’re too busy for the truth; after all, it’s not your war! Or is it?

First Nick- You are allowed to say all those things on this site- I post my points of view on sites such as Press TV- been blocked- Finklestien hardtalk interview U Tube -been blocked-
BBC message board- been blocked- Guardian comments page -been blocked- I never use profanities- I quote my sources. So I wonder how that is.
There is now fotage of the Rachel Correi incident that that show footage that the driver of the dozer could not have seen her- and when you put yourself in that situation there is always a risk. And Finklestien, well I am sorry this it what the N.Y.Times said of him. “The New York Times review of his book- described its premise as “ A novel variation of the Elders of Zion.” They concluded by accusing Finkelstein of being Juvenile stupid and arrogant. (Their issue Aug 6th 2000)”
And ref:”http://honestreporting.com/finkelstein-on-bds-a-cult-of-dishonesty/”

As for children learning to hate I recommend you find the books inside the P.A and Gaza schools relating to Jews and the maps showing the “Non-existence” of Israel.
It is you now sir, who fails to check the other side.
Sabre and Shatila- Well yes maybe Israel might have been able to prevent it- that is open for discussion-
However you fail to mention that it was carried out by the Lebanese Christians- and they did so in revenge for the massacres that Araft`s men carried out against them whilst running riot in Beirut. And as I am sure you are well aware- as you appear to be a person of learning- In this part of the world- Honour and feuding, combined with killing are the norm.
Example- how the Hamas killed their Fatach opponents after the won the Gaza elections.

Steve Mann. You could refute the content of what I wrote. Instead you call me “anti Israeli/ anti Semitic” and make a silly comment about the way my name is spelt. I said everything I had to say and will kindly reply to you if you can add to the subject of this video.

Typical – “You People” your words- I missed “Some of my best friends….”
That is as good as sticking your right hand in the air!

And what was there to comment on your post-
You just made assumptions- Go back and read it– You accused it of being staged- but you never explained how . You accused every one of telling lies- but gave no evidence-
So what did you expect for a comment- other than you are an anti-Semite and anti-Israeli-
And what ever proof you would be shewn you will not believe it-!

The truth is disturbing. This is the real Israhell www youtube com / watch?v=Yt3d3Fmouh4. Please note that this is disturbing. Unfortunately our reality today, when you look under the Jew media lies, is disturbing. If you want to call me an anti-semite, that is OK. I understand this arrogant and ignorant trick.

Matthew- for thats how you spell it- which makes me think you are an Islamist to much of a coward to say otherwise. I am answering your post which is yet to show it self-
The same as Nick- you are what I say you are- for thats the way you express yourself- And the vile anti Israeli, Semitic web sites you quote.

We have already exposed the lies of the al-Dura case, the case of the girl injured during a car accident in Gaza-then blamed on the Israelis as from a tank shell.
We have seen supposedly dead bodies on stretchers carried by Red Crescent -It falls off and gets up unaided . We have exposed the lie of Jenin- Ereket “A 1000 dead- just 53- 37 carrying arms.
Your bias is foundless.

Shalom!Steve Mann; I admire your energy! I have become soooo! tired of hearing the same old,same old anti-Semitic/anti-Israeli,garbage,that I just don’t have the strength to “reply”!! any more! But! it warms this ol heart of mine,to see the likes of you! still in the, “Fray”. Keeping up the “Good Fight”,because,long after this Bastard……matthew,and “other”, nazis,are DEAD!! and gone!… Eretzs Yisroal,will be a Light unto the World,Thriving and Prospering,with Her People,and the World! Living in FREEDOM!! G-dbless you Steve Mann,and like minded thinkers!!! Shalom, David J. Brien,Vancouver.

Yes, “These images beg the question about the role of those photographers in this incident”. And of course, the photography, from both sides, is incredibly well done. But what is more incredible, is that you are all pretending that you don’t know deep down that this is a staged photographic event put on by yourselves. You people really are sick to be deluding yourselves like this. I’m sure it is not easy for you to sleep at night having to live such a lie. Doubt this will get posted, after all this is Israeli ‘honestreporting . com’… and war is peace and all of that. But will give it a go anyway. Keep up the lie and good luck with living with yourselves.

When it come to our domestic Media / Press or International Media / Press it is very unlikely if not impossible to find an honest fair Journalist. They long ago flushed the Journalism Creed down the toilet.

They all (99.99%) are dishonest, totally biased and the ideological emobdiement of a sterrotypical Socialist / Marxist, who is also blindly pro Muslim.

When a photograph, video or story makes world wide circulation they are rained on by money.
Their resume gets a gold star and they usually get a Journalism award. That’s like getting an Oscar.

I have nothing against millionaires. But the Medi / Press are greedy low lifes and could not care less if one or 1,000 of our soldiers were injured or killed as a result of one of their stories. This happened over and over in Iraq, The Media / Press was pro-terrorist & anti-American Soldier. In my opinion news reports by our Journalists were “directly” responsible for hundreds of our soldires dieing. Journalists also exacerbate alsmost anything.throught self interest.

You are pointing the finger at the wrong people. Yes I agree that what they say is wrong regarding Israel. I recently toured a TV station and the conductor of the tour explained how we get our news while we were standing in the control room. It goes like this:

The Management
(hires and directs the producer and those under him/her)
The Producer
(assembles content and controls what is said)
The Director
(make sure the visual and audio product is technically and aesthetically correct, i.e., follows the producer’s orders)
The Talking Head
(reads the news and plays the part of actually knowing what is going on under the control of the director and producer)

So it is with TV. Printed matter is not much different. Replace producer, director and talking head with chief editor, sub editor’s, compositors and photographers. The fact is we have to start tracking the producers and editors that put this stuff out. They are lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings. I am not totally letting the Talking Heads off the hook, but light needs to shine into the producer’s control room and chief editor’s desk where the ultimate responsibility for what is called “objective” media (not).

I wonder if anyone knows a list of known anti-Israel producers or chief editors?

Just a little Palestinian-style free speech here. The global media seems to give the Arab world a free pass on violent and barbaric behavior like this, especially when lodged against Israelies. Journalism used to be and honored and impartial profession to be a member of. Sadly, those days have long since passed. The media double standard in reporting news out of the Middle East continues to be horriffically and sadly tilted again Israel. It would be nice to see balanced reporting return to the region. With the state of the media today, I’m not particularly hopeful.

Hey Cliff Ross,
I slightly disagree. I think that any driver attacked like Zehava Weiss should have AND HAS the right of absolutely ANY self defense (they want to kill you!!!) – such as running several times over the attackers regardless their age, shooting them (preferably several times into their heads), pouring petrol over them and setting them on fire, etc. Why ONLY the mandatory running over the rock throwers?

I’m repeating something I’ve already said on this site, but one caller to BBC world service said the BBC commentary about Syria’s situation was like ‘Syrian rebels’ central’. If the rest of the world left Syria to work out her own problems, there wouldn’t be 90% of death and destruction. Street rioters won’t be risking their own and the rest of their neighbours’ lives if they didn’t have an audience. While there is a huge investigation going on in England over the newspapers’ shifty handling of the people they’re reporting about, the BBC should also be investigated for their manipulative dealings and reporting!

What I find so unbelievable is that instead of stopping the youth from throwing rocks they are busy clicking away. Such callous behavior should be condemned in the strongest of terms. Why is it that very few bat an eyelid at this barbaric act of stone throwing in the first place. Has hatred for Israel and the Jews so blinded them that they condone such acts of terrorism?

I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think kids throwing a simple “stone” is a weapon!…

Reply to stupid comment (above) which I see all too frequently: … … … Anyone have a answer for these typed of people? I just find I can not figure out what they do not understand about Rock + thrown by a teen boy = Life threatening.

There is no answer because they do not care to listen. But what I try to convey is the hypothetical situation of me launching eggs at their windows. How long do they think it will take fro them to call the cops and have me arrested? A week? A day? An hour? And my hypothetical situation is only calling for eggs: not missiles, not rocks. Eggs. Against their window.

If they’re cool with the hypothetics– “That wouldn’t bother me none!”– then they can post their address.

Obviously the ‘light’ has been extinguished in Mr Light-Bright’s brain!
Quote “They are just kids”…. Sure they are, but they are trained as murderers of the ‘infadel’ from 9 years old or even younger in many cases. The Journalists/Photographers do not care how they get the story, or at what cost to whom, so long as they can create a name for themselves.
Why didn’t these ‘men’ go to the woman’s aid? She couldn’t defend herself, but they just kept on
‘clicking’. Disgusting!!! These are not men…they are cowards!!

Most journalists love Israel. It’s the cushiest assignment they could hope for. They have these stone-throwing performers ready to give them some “action” to falsely report on. Then they can go for a coffee at many of the cafes. Then perhaps a swim at the Hilton pool, or off to a spa. All the while under the protection of the state and its democratic institutions they so despise. All of these photographers who enable and encourage terrorism should be parachuted in to Damascus, from where we eagerly await their reports.

Even the Judges have a tear- “Jewish student bit on face by Muslim student whist protesting against anti-Israeli stand”- Judge said “That the prosecution could not proove the Muslim student was NOT acting in self defense”. What kind of findings is that!

Two journalists were killed in Syria recently. I attempted to post on the BBC that perhaps these journalists were contributing to stirring up the revolution in Syria and maybe the loss of such journalists is a benefit to the World. Of course the BBC deleted my post.

We require a strong and free press. But journalism walks a fine line between reporting news and influencilng the news and perhaps even organlizing the news.

Overall to me it is a profession that today is increasingly populated by bad people. But some are heroes so it is often hard to know what really is going on.

I am set to agree that there are pretty big questions as to how exactly these pictures were obtained, but one thing is clear to me – a few months back two innocent humans, a Dad and his toddler were smashed to death with a boulder as big as a watermelon flung by Palestinians from an oncoming car on their windshield. And that is what truly matters and puts things straight.

The interesting thing about the photographs is that both photographers had their cameras set the same way, super fast shutter and they fired the shutter within milliseconds of each other as the first rock hit the windshield. They picked a time with the sun just about overhead, perfect lighting. And they both got near perfect pictures of the first stone hit, not likely if the camera was just on automatic.

Don’t know about you all, but by the time I get a camera setup for a special situation like this the situation is past. That’s why they are professionals. I’d put them on photographing UFOs. Imagine what clear pictures we would finally get.

The photographer is from the Associated Press – he’s a Press Camera man. He’s paid a minium wage while stationed in Israel to find a story, and when it’s found and it goes to press he gets a maximium wage of big bucks. At the moment there are hundreds of journalists (Press) stationed in Israel just waiting for such a story, and if it doesn’t happen – they invent one. e.g. They encourage the youth to start a scene so they can film it, then send it back home to the Boss. The Boss publishes it or film footage is release on TV, then the sends the Camers man / crew their fat cheques as a reward – that’s how it works.
In my books it’s the PRESS who encourage such, and should be held responsible, e.g. fined, jailed, deported. (A friend who was a Press Reporter for CBS News while in Israel told me that this is a reality among his Press collegues).

Minimum Wage???
Not usually.
Usually they only get expenses and medical benefits covered. If they get a printable story then the wages kick in.
They will Exagerate, Fabricate and do most anything to get a story. In this rock throwing they probably picked the location for best camera angles – phoptographers just hapened to be on both sides of the road?
These photographers were complicit in this ambush and should be prosecuted.

if one considers just how much the worlds internet views of such instances around the world IE, Libya, Egypt, currently Syria, that is sourced from individuals who stay hidden away from the action one begins to understand that journos may have some influence however it is shown from individual sources that what is going on is very often going to happen without the camers in view, in essence the real thing happens anyway.

I AGREE!!
When will the planet wake up to what is really happening I’m Israel, AND when will the IDf start depending the country without apologizing for doing so. This is crazy, what other country would pander to terrorists the way the Israelis do ….. wait a minute WE do too.

On one of my trips to Israel I was walking through the streets of the Old City, when
arab youths threw a hand full of small rocks down on me….fortunately the rocks were just very small but the message was the same. I am an Australian doing everything to support this land which they also live in but they simply do not want to live side by side with the jews as Steve made reference to.

I know this is very simplistic. . . I suppose we should encourage the police to prosecute these kids of destruction and the photographers encouraging the destroyer’s acts. Thank you for taking the time to stand up for what is proper, lawful, and good.

It is true, Steve Mann, that they consider Palestine to be their country. But the historic truth is more complex : Tribes were living there, the Jews chased them out because G-d ordered them to do so, and it was only after the Romans chased the Jews out of Yehuda and Shomron that the Palestinians settled there. My conclusion : Both Jews and Palestinians are on historic grounds entitled to live in that land, but according to the Divine Decree of G-d, the Jewish people must rule over it, while Palestinians have only the liberty to reside there. Nothing will ever chance that.
It is a pity that the Qur’ân teaches so much hatred against Jews and Christians, that it shows so little compassion and so much indifference concerning the human problems, that it causes such deep rifts between men and women. Maybe the messenger of the Qur’ân, the Angel Jibril, was in reality the disguised Angel Satan.

What I don’t understand is the passive and timid attitude of the Israeli government. In general terms, in order to combat the viciously one-sided reporting (and tactics) of the left-wing media, all foreign reporters who want to be accredited (and remain so), should be obliged to attend a regular government briefing session, or else their accreditation would be withdrawn and they can go and report from Damascus.

These brick throwers should be arrested. The photographer should be arrested. They should be made to pay compensation to the woman driver for emotional upset, physical damage [G-D forbid] plus damage to the car and then be sentenced to at least ten years hard labor.Two people, a father and son, were killed by stone throwers recently.

It’s about time Arabs and Jews learn to treat each other with respect.This means respect for life, respect for property (f.i. cars, houses), religious respect. This is not only a matter of politics, it is also a matter of bad manners, which can only be improved by means of education. I also resent the attitude of journalists who are hunting after the most spectacular picture, in order the boost the sales of the magazine they work for, or to gain extra fees for “outstanding” reporting. The way every participant in the conflict is manipulating the opponent leads to this kind of excessive behaviour by youngsters. Deep down, everybody wants to live in peace, but give everybody at least a chance to live in peace.
Mend your ways, you horrible politicians !

I agree with everything you say, Francois, except your first sentence. It should read ” It’s about time Arabs learn to treat Jews with respect.”. In case you haven’t noticed, this is a one-sided conflict and has been for 64 years. At any time, and I mean ANY TIME, had Israel so desired, they could have used overwhelming force and ended this in. The fact that they did NOT speaks to their sense of mercy, justice and love for their fellow man. I am flabberghasted and continuously in awe of the restraint exemplified by the IDF, especially in putting their own soldiers in harms way to protect civilians on BOTH sides.
But the day is coming, when, according to the prophet Zephaniah, in verse 3:20 the Almighty says about Israel:
“At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you
a name and a Praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before
your eyes, saith the Lord.”
God is about to reward His Chosen people..make sure that you are on the right side of this conflict, God’s side through His Son, Jeshua !!!!!
Rev. Roy….<

Here I quote from The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement. (HAMAS)

“Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts,
. The Islamic Resistance movement is but one squadron that should be supported… until the enemy is vanquished and Allah victory is realized. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine…….”

“The prophet…. has said “The day of judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, killing the Jews, when the Jews will hide behind the stones and the trees. The stones and the trees will say “there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him”…
There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavours. Palestine is an Islamic land”…..

I believe an investigation on the facts should be carried out. If the media representatives are colluded with the rioters that want to inflict terror on the Jewish citizens, they are accomplices on the facts and therefore should be liable to the full extent of the law. One thin g is to report incidents and another is to participate in their orchestration and then exhibit as passive participation behavior at the time of the attacks.
The ethical behavior of this photographers is deplorable and brings sham to the newspapers or other media that use their products of passive conspiracy.

Since the identity of the attackers is known from the photos wouldn’t the authorities have enough to go on to arrest and prosecute the attackers? If the authorities, Palestinian or whoever would arrest and prosecute attackers caught on film full face the photographing of such incidents would have the reverse effect. When such things happen where I live it is considered a crime and police go to extremes to find out who did it. (An equivalent action where I live would be dropping rocks off a freeway bridge onto traffic)

If the authorities don’t make the effort then the focus should be on them.

That this was planned is pretty obvious by the fact that someone among the attackers was videotaping the incident.

The photographers are as guilty of attempted murder as the stone-throwers. They are acting as a team. To set up before the crime to record it in the interest of “news” is a symptom of the moral decay of the new dark age. Another symptom is that there will be no consequence to the photographers, since the concept of “rule of law” is also threatened.

Dear Friends, This is not the time for retaliation but forgiveness. Remember, they are being fed only one side of the argument. It is for this reason why HONEST REPORTING exists! Take heed – these people are not to be scorned but pitied! GOD bless them and I pray that they may see the light of TRUTH – is nothing else – but do not stop! – EDUCATE THEM, dammit!

1,400 years of terror against non-muslims, 100 years of terror against Jews in Israel… we have done nothing to them… ever. The time for apologizing is NOW- by THEM to the REST OF THE WORLD.

18,000 terror attacks in the name of “islam” SINCE 9/11/2001. THEY are the ones who need to apologize to the world. They are the ones who have had decades to ask for forgiveness. And yet they haven’t. Did God “forgive” the Egyptians or other attackers/haters of Jews throughout history? No– He did the only feasible solution in His all knowing eyes- vanquished them completely. And the day is coming, indeed, when the last haters will be destroyed. Remember to erase the memory of Amalek.

Sadly the Israeli supreme court imprisoned a policeman whom, in self defense, shot a man that had stolen a car (or his car, can’t remember which) and was driving it toward him as though to run him down. I doubt leftists on the bench consider any Israeli in danger at any time, photographic evidence or not.

Can you imagine if the Israelis would shoot to kill the way the so called president of syria is killing his people and newsreporters. We Jews would we be blamed and killed around the world. The thoughts of a non jew. But it is coming to a point for our survival that we might have to.

the question that needs to be asked and answered is how did the photogrphers know to be there? What news agency do they represent? and what responsibilty do they have to notify authorities to prevent a murder? The freedom of the press doesn’t mean, abet murder, but that is where the Shariah compliant AP, Reuters and other media outlets have put themselves; intentionally, “to get the news”. more than 50% of the time It’s not not news, it’s is self-incrimination.

This is blatant. The press is behind this. They want violence, it sells. Look at the guy in the middle with a bullet proof vest on.. and “Press” describing he’s not involved.. yet he is. This was staged so you, the viewer, would get incensed at Israel for causing such an incident! Don’t even reply to this… move on!

I remember spain-writer and war journalist Perez Reverte, said sadly that when he was working in Africa wars, he realised that too many people, (women and children) were killed just becouse him was taking photografies. He wandered if those people were alive if he was not there.
He did not on porpouse, but too many journalist in Cisjordan sure they do on porpouse.

In that situation, if I were armed, I would defend myself in neutralizing the threat, on camera or not. the media is complicit by promoting and glorifying this. they should lose their press credentials. this is not media, this is propaganda.
